#Can't choose target display on a multi-monitor Linux/Wayland setup

I'm running Linux using the Sway desktop (so it's Wayland to the core). I have three monitors, HDMI-A-1, DP-1, and DP-3 (right next to each other in that order). But when I open the game even though Sway places it on the monitor I want to play on (DP-1), the game thinks it's running on DP-3 and in the Target Display setting there aren't any other monitors.

You can change games with SHIFT + WINKEY + Arrow Direction Left/Right

#

Sadley windows always choice the main Screen.. i do not know if you can select through GPU Software to make a default screen choice for games/Profiles

The game does appear on the right display, but it thinks it’s running on the wrong one.

#

Which is bad because DP-1 is a FullHD screen in landscape mode (1920×1080) while DP-3 is FullHD in portrait mode (1080×1920)

#

and the list under ”Target Displays” doesn’t even show all displays, only DP-3, so I can’t change it

Then you have to see if windows have installed the monitors correctly (no pnp monitors)
i have all 3 monitors in my list

#

And does the Shift + Windows key + Direction not working ?

AMD RX580; but that doesn’t really matter. I’m pretty sure it’s just Unity not liking Wayland too much 😄
